truck plans over the winter? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Boog** · 11-11-2018, 05:04 PM

Now that colder weather is coming some of you will most likely take your truck off the street for the winter. What do you plan to do to your truck while it's down?
Yesterday I put up my lawn cutting equipment and made more room in my small shop. I plan to finally blow my stepside bed apart and begin the repairs on it.

Red71gmc · 11-11-2018, 05:19 PM

I am going to start a complete restore on my 72. Down to frame and start over.

Assemble a new bed kit and finish my extended cab project

**Boog** · 11-11-2018, 05:38 PM

That's going to be nice.

**Boog** · 11-11-2018, 06:03 PM

flip'd

**Boog** · 11-11-2018, 06:38 PM

When I put my step side bed behind the shop it had no rust and a solid floor. That was 20 years ago. I had no intention it would be this long. The good thing is now days there are plenty of new parts available if needed.

SJLenz1340 · 11-11-2018, 11:00 PM

Simple one, rear brakes because I don’t think they work.

FRCvette · 11-11-2018, 11:18 PM

I am going to remove the bed wood and sand and refinish.
Possibly TMI seat and vintage air.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 11-11-2018, 05:36 PM

Put everything back on that is missing from this pic, and also the new bed

**70STOVEBOLT** · 11-11-2018, 07:40 PM

Thanks for the flip Boog. I even edited that pic before I posted it.

My only plan is to keep getting rid of all my trucks. When there is one left, its the one that stays. Too bad winter is a sucky time to try and get rid of stuff haha.

68Stepbed · 11-12-2018, 09:57 AM

Switching to EFI. Possibly swapping in a 6 speed. Maybe get new wheels, but unlikely. LOL

rsavage · 11-12-2018, 10:58 PM

Just get it back home from paint and body and put it back together. Should have it within a couple of weeks - I hope. It has been a year, but the guy does super nice work. He did both my GTO's previously. He does the body work and primer in his shop ( and the inside) and will take it to his workplace to shoot the outside in the paint booth. Here is a photo of my 65 that he did the body and paint. Gave the car to my son in NC last April
